Microservices for the Enterprise

A webinar by ZeroTurnaround

Abstract

We’ll begin our webinar with a high-level overview of the concepts of microservices, from the perfect storm of programmable infrastructure, new architectural concepts and DevOps, to key building blocks of a microservice architecture, like API design, service discovery and fault tolerance.

Next we’ll look for the perfect microservices framework. Instead of operating too much of what nobody needs, the ideal combination of relevant features with as little overhead as possible would be the “just right” fit. And this is where the recently released Lagom Framework puts it’s emphasis.

We can’t run a session on microservices without looking at the Spring offering. We’ll look at how to create modern microservices using the open-source Spring Boot and Spring Cloud technologies.
